Vegan Candy, Tofu, Hummus, and Books

The Date: Thursday, March 24

The Delivery: Assorted vegan candies and caramels from Obsessive Confection Disorder, sprouted tofu and hummus from Nasoya, Soak Your Nuts by Karyn Calabrese, and The Literary Ladies' Guide to the Writing Life by Nava Atlas

Staff Pick: Obsessive Confection's Vegan Booty

The DL: Houston, we have a problem. If our weakness for sweets wasn't evident by our obsessions with candy bars, Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Bomb cake, and spiced banana pancakes, we're really in for it now. Obsessive Confection's line of creative sweets has us stoked, especially the Vegan Booty: a concoction of coconut toffee, dark chocolate, and orange peel. We better get all of our work done now, because after these incoming sugar highs pass, we're going to be useless. Looks like we're closing early, folks!

A Cookbook and Vegan Honey

The Date: Monday, February 14

The Delivery: Lickin' the Beaters 2 by Siue Moffat and vegan honey from Bee-Free Honee

Staff Pick: Lickin' the Beaters 2

The DL: Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at VNHQ! We hope you and your loved ones, whether they be people, companion animals, or your TV, are having a lovely day. We also hope your day is filled with sweets like those in Lickin' the Beaters 2. With entire sections devoted to candy (Peanut Butter Truffles?!), chocolate (Chocolate Marshmallow Almond Pie? Cue drooling), and "ice creem" in flavors like S'more and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, we can't wait to take this cookbook home and show it to our partners. And by "show it to our partners" we mean "ask our partners to take back the flowers and make a batch of Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies instead."

We Want Candy

The Date: Wednesday, September 15

The Delivery: A non-vegan book and Goody Good Stuff candy
Staff Pick: Goody Good Stuff Cola Breeze candies

The DL: After bemoaning the lack of sweet treats being delivered to VNHQ over the past few days, someone loves us! The adorably-named Goody Good Stuff company makes vegan versions of childhood penny candies, like our personal favorites, cola bottle gummies. Only one thing would make this snack even better, and that is Original Chex Mix, which Savvy Abby has informed us is vegan. Now if you'll excuse us, we'll get back to that sweet and savory afternoon snacking.

Cute Confections

Date: Thursday, December 17
The Delivery: Cooking sauces and condiments (some not vegan), holiday-inspired marshmallow treats, and a pesticide-free sign from Mountain Rose Herbs
Staff Pick: The snowman-shaped marshmallow from Sweet & Sara

The DL: This sweet treat looks adorable enough to eat! The VNHQ is a grinch-free zone; we love anything and everything that relates to the holidays, and judging from today's lunch, we just can't say no to marshmallows.

Take it to the Max!

Date: Thursday, May 21
The Delivery: An assortment of Go Max Go Foods' new vegan candy bars wrapped in their snazzy, new packaging, along with two elegant bottles of Kikusui Junmai Ginjo Chrysanthemum Mist Organic Saké.

Staff Pick: Go Max Go Foods' Vegan Candy Bars

The DL: It's no secret around here—the VN staff is in love! With Go Max Go Foods' Candy Bars, that is. We've fallen head over heals for these rice-milk chocolate coated nuggets of rich, gooey goodness. Although we've already sampled the launch version of these treats, we think we better taste-test these newly-outfitted versions to confirm product consistency. Can't wait to try these yourself? Keep your eye out for our upcoming giveaway!

Some Yummy Confections

Date: Monday, February 9
The Delivery: New vegan frozen entrées from Kashi and some artisan chocolates
Staff Pick: Just in time for Valentines Day, these chocolates from Life by Chocolate look to-die-for

The DL: What's the best thing about Valentines Day? Chocolate, of course! So, we were very happy to see this chocoholic-friendly arrival today.

Tricks and Treats

Date: Thursday, September 11

The Delivery: Eco books and ghoulishly gourmet chocolates

Staff Pick: Halloweeny peanut butter bites from Sjaak's Organic Chocolates

The DL: It's hard to believe All Hallows Eve is already fast-approaching! Gourmet ghouls all over will want to bring these organic, fair trade, vegan Halloween chocolates along for when they get the monster munchies.
